Trey Sermon will have extra motivation to jump as high as he can when he participates in the vertical jump at Ohio State’s pro day on Tuesday.
While trying to impress NFL scouts would be motivation enough on its own, Sermon will also know that every inch he leaps in the vertical jump on Tuesday at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center will mean more money raised for his mother’s foundation, Arise by Faith, through the PledgeIt drive that he set up last month that asks donors to pledge a donation in the interval of their choice multiplied by how many inches he jumps.
